It is submitted that a Lok-Adalat award is passed on 30.06.2018 whereby the parties have submitted that the case is compromised and file a joint memo reporting the same. Hence, in view of the compromise between the parties, the petition is dismissed as compromised before the Lok-Adalat. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that when the matter is compromised, the husband has not adhered to the conditions in the joint memo. Hence, they have questioned this before this Court. Against an award that is passed by the Lok-Adalat, the Writ Petition can be filed before this Court only on the grounds of fraud and coercion and on any other ground, the same cannot be questioned before this Court. Parties to the compromise, if they are not honoring the - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:29436 WP No. 24439 of 2024 terms of the compromise that cannot be a reason for this Court to interfere with the award. Hence, this Court finds no reasons to pass any orders in this Writ Petition. However, whatever the remedies that are available to the petitioner, the petitioner is at liberty to pursue the same. Hence, this Court is passing the following: ORDER (i) The Writ Petition is disposed of. (ii) All IAs., in this petition shall stand closed. SD/- (LALITHA KANNEGANTI) JUDGE KA List No.: 1 Sl No.: 16
